I love a shore bar in the off season. They have delicious food at a fair price. Great bar atmosphere, good place to hang out. Our server was super friendly and went above and beyond for a child in our party. He was playful, however attentive and quick to meet any request.

We have a preference for the bar, best pork sandwich, chicken pot pie, and friendly wait staff. We have to try the more upscale restaurant.

Our experience was a bit of a roller coaster; Starting off with the bread served with oil, red pepper flakes, and long hot peppers, it was a decent opening. My anticipation for the Beet Wedge Salad was met with some disappointment. The dish, promising lemon honey yogurt, roasted beets, crumbled goat cheese, and pistachios, was a letdown. The beet was chopped so fine, it seemed less than a quarter of a beet was present, and the pistachios were missing; but the goat cheese was pungent. The Shrimp Alla Vodka, on the other hand, stood out. It included large shrimp and chicken sautéed with crimini mushrooms, sundried tomato, basil, and shallots, flamed in vodka, and simmered in marinara. However, the dish was overwhelmed by an excessive amount of cream, served over penne pasta. The Baby Rack of Lamb was another pleasing choice, slow-roasted and accompanied by mashed potatoes and a flavorful vegetable medley. The meal wrapped up with a coffee, which was average. The server was attentive but needed a little instruction. The upstairs ambiance was moderately quiet, and had a nice full backlit bar. In summary, while there were some impressive dishes, others didn't live up to expectations, especially considering the slightly high prices. The overall dining experience was satisfactory, but it's best to keep your expectations in check.

In the summer this place is an epic scene. In the off season it is cozy and I am grateful to have found it.

This place has the best white pizza in the whole Atlantic City area. It's also good for lunch to walk up from the beach and have a cold beer!

Ate in upscale restaurant upstairs. No complaints about food or service. Rip off drink menu. All specialty drinks on menu are listed together without prices. When bill came we realized why. 26 dollars for 4 ounce glass mixed drink on the rocks. Outrageous!

Pizza sucks. Food is a rip off. They literally rip people off. Charge you for Large size but give you small. Drinks are overpriced and different prices different days. Pizza was raw and management is rude and doesn't care. Screw this place

The only thing that was good was the service. The chicken parm was poorly prepared and tasteless. The cutlet was left in the fryer too long and was burnt and very tough. There was more breading than chicken. The tomato sauce was bland with no taste. The pasta was overcooked. Not much good to say.

Great food,next to LUCY THE ELEPHANT , the chicken Ceasar wrap was delish. Homemade made dressing made all the difference, the turkey club as also a winner.

Absolutely love this place, it’s my go-to summer outdoor eating spot. Lots of outdoor tables some with a view of the ocean. Big menu with lots of choices.Way better than bar food here. Live their pizza. Great place to hang and drink with some friends to check out the local talent or have a good dinner outside. Really enjoy hanging here every time I go.
